$Threads that Bind \u2014 The Story of the Woolly Dog$

Join the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture for a film screening and Q&A with the producer and participants of Threads that Bind — The Story of the Woolly Dog.
This 30-minute documentary examines the story of the woolly dog — a breed domesticated for thousands of years by Pacific Northwest Tribes. The soft white fur of these dogs, which went extinct in the late 1800s, was used to create intricate textiles and regalia.
Film director and producer Kirk French (Anthropology professor and director of the CORVA lab, Penn State), along with several of the participants, will be on hand to answer questions and provide additional insight. Light refreshments and appetizers included.
Producer: Kirk French, anthropology professor and director of the CORVA lab, Penn State.
Participants: Liz Hammond-Kaarremaa, author, The Teachings of Mutton: A Coast Salish Woolly Dog.
Logan Kistler, curator of anthropology at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History.
Audrey Lin, postdoctoral fellow at Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History.
